Three-dimensional spectral domain optical coherence tomography in vitreomacular traction.

Author
Abstract
:

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive tool providing unprecedented imaging and analysis of vitreomacular interface. Two cases of vitreomacular traction were analysed by advanced three-dimensional (3D) SD-OCT imaging. En-face OCT permitted localisation of the exact point of attachment of vitreous to retina. A comprehensive view of the surface topography and anatomical configuration of vitreomacular affection was revealed by 3D imaging with segmentation technique. Macular change analysis programme revealed progression to full-thickness macular hole in the second case. Non-invasive high-resolution SD-OCT imaging has transformed the understanding and management of vitreomacular traction. Its role is further reinforced by the introduction of ocriplasmin for management of vitreomacular adhesions.
